Dr. Joseph Frager, who organized the post-parade concert, told the newspaper there will be “a wall of NYPD blue” in light of recent events in Boston and London.

“I’ve met numerous times with NYPD brass, who have been wonderful and diligent about every security detail,” Frager told the Daily News. “It’s a scary world. But we must live and celebrate life the same way they do in Israel. With vigilant precautions. With very intelligent on-the-ground encounters with suspicious people. By discouraging entry to anyone with a backpack. By searching everyone entering the concert. We will be safe.”

The Parade and Concert are obvious terror targets, but Frager remains defiant.

“You can’t let anyone intimidate you from celebrating your culture and voicing your ideology,” says Frager. “In fact, the exact opposite is in order as you will see and hear on Sunday in Central Park Bandshell, where there will be thousands cheering and a wall of NYPD blue. That’s a good thing.”

An NYPD spokeswoman was more curt with her response, only saying that security “will be adequate for the occasion. We’re always vigilant.”
